Our Team

BirdBox has been developed by FAI (Food Animal Initiative) Farms.

FAI was founded in 2001 on the Oxford University estate.

We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists, veterinarians, auditors, software developers, data analysts, consultants, and producers.

Led by science and guided by practical knowledge, we build solutions for sustainable food animal systems.

Our Platforms

In an age of increasing technological capability, we are continually evolving our suite of practical tools that empower farmers to drive better on-farm results. Our work over the past two decades, has proven that farmers and food businesses are some of the most powerful actors in creating higher welfare, sustainable food. We are focused on unlocking science and adapting technology to put it in the hands of farmers and supply chain actors. We want to position high welfare, sustainable farming not as a burden for farmers, but instead as a powerful tool to help them solve their existing challenges.

Our design principles:

Working with farmers and industry to build platforms that solve real problems

Pairing practical farming and supply chain experience with the latest technology and leading food animal thinking

Applying our 3Es criteria to build technology that drives positive outcomes for people, animals and the planet
